    Completely irrelevant. It's in direct x, the ps4 is in directx, so it's going to be directx. Any comparisons between directx and opengl are completely pointless to this game and the conversation.

    Personally I'm looking forward to better lighting. It's already nice but it can be even better.

    Actually the PS4 doesn't use DirectX because well the rights belong to Microsoft. So they are using OpenGL instead.
    It was only speculated up until launch that they'll use DirectX.

    Sony doesn't hold the patent for BluRay alone. There are around 15 companies that own the rights to BluRay. Sony is just one of them.
